A Nigerian woman who previously received assistance from an office fundraising campaign has sparked widespread discussion after objecting to a collection for a security guard’s spouse.
The narrative, which has been spreading across the internet, was posted by user @olami_deeEbony on the platform formerly known as Twitter.
Lady Rejects Proposed Donation for Security Guard
Nevertheless, the Human Resources department encouraged the organization to swiftly allocate funds for the gatekeeper, with the amount to be subtracted from the upcoming payroll.
In contrast, the female accountant voiced strong opposition, asking, ‘Why should we contribute ₦20,000 for a mere gatekeeper? His salary doesn’t even reach that figure. She faces numerous expenses this month. Perhaps we could limit each contribution to ₦5,000.’
Despite having recently undergone an appendectomy, no colleagues objected when they contributed toward her medical expenses.

Precious remarked that the woman appears to devalue the guard due to his position, despite having benefited from the same support system, labeling her selfish. King Resilience noted that they backed her during her surgery and believe the same principle should apply, agreeing to the ₦20,000 contribution. Papshine questioned her character, calling her wicked and selfish, and hoped others would not follow her suggestion. MamaTee observed that while she finds the amount high when she is paying, she did not feel burdened when receiving aid, acknowledging that the guard may not have contributed much before but truly needs the funds now.
